Had the opportunity to visit at Tohono Chul (desert corner) and was greeted by beautiful flowers. This little pocket park (37 acres or ~14.9 hectares) has provided a wonderful little corner amid the busy life of Tucson. The are was an old homestead but instead of opening up to development it was given for teh park. A great place for just a bit of solitude or a stroll through saguaros, cholla, and other desert plants.
If you are lucky, you can see a road runner, cactus wren or other birds. A close eye does reveal other visitors (scat patrol). At the right time of year the night blooming cereus is there and a watch takes place like an expectant parent.
